The phrase "user-visible" is being used in many current docs, I don't 
dare to change it unless a sage gives me a suggestion.

I can see that there is entrenched usage, but this really seems to be
embedding Linux-specific implementation details into the dt. I don't see
why the driver cannot select a sensible name, but perhaps I'm missing
something.

Mark, is there any reason we need to handle the user-visible name of the
device this way?

This is intended to allow userspace to distinguish between systems that
are electrically identical but physically distinct, for example when
multiple systems are derived from the same reference design.
